Just for laughs

*The European Commission has just announced an agreement whereby Englishwill be the official language of the European Union rather than German,which was the other possibility.As part of the negotiations, the British Government conceded that Englishspelling had some room for improvement and has accepted a 5- year phase-inplan that would become known as "Euro-English".In the first year, "s" will replace the soft "c". Sertainly, this will makethe sivil servants jump with joy. The hard "c" will be dropped in favour of"k". This should klear up konfusion, and keyboards kan have one less letterThere will be growing publik enthusiasm in the sekond year when thetroublesome "ph" will be replaced with "f". This will make words likefotograf 20% shorter. **In the 3rd year, publik akseptanse of the new spelling kan be expekted toreach the stage where! more komplikated changes are possible.Governments will enkourage the removal of double letters which have alwaysben a deterent to akurate speling.* *Also, al wil agre that the horibl mes of the silent "e" in the languag isdisgrasful and it should go away.By the 4th yer people wil be reseptiv to steps such asreplasing "th" with "z" and "w" with "v".* *During ze fifz yer, ze unesesary "o" kan be dropd from vords **kontaining"ou" and after ziz fifz yer, ve vil hav a reil sensi bl riten styl.Zer vil be no mor trubl or difikultis and evrivun vil find it ezi tuunderstand ech oza. Ze drem of a united urop vil finali kum tru.Und efter ze fifz yer, ve vil al be speking German like zey vunted in zeforst plas.If zis mad you smil, pleas pas on to oza pepl.*

HAHA! That was sooo funny! I loved it. I wonder if people who don't know much about the German language will get as much of a kick out of it.

I just got a minute to read this. I laughed my butt off! I loved it. I sent it to my Mother In-law who loved it too. Thanks for sharing!
